Just got my nails done in NOLA for the first time! I went to Golden File upon my friend's…read morerecommendation and I am so glad they did. Unfortunately, I had to choose a green color for my manicure in theme for my friend's bachelorette party but my manicurist Trey did an amazing job by making green look pretty with a cat eye design (extra $15). To book with Golden File, they request you to book online and ask you to pay for a 50% deposit. They also assign you a manicurist at the time of booking so you are guaranteed someone will be working with you during your set appointment. I really appreciate their strong scheduling system as I can't stand when I make an appointment at a nail salon and they don't actually keep the appointment time. The staff is also all so friendly and nice. They offer drinks (water, wine, Viet coffee, etc.) and snacks while you are getting your nails done. There is also a phone stand next to you to keep you phone propped up to doomscroll if you please. It's all the little touches like this that I really appreciated!

It was my first time at Golden File in downtown New Orleans. Angel was my nail artist, and she did…read moresuch an AMAZING job! I wanted natural nails with varying lace looks across my nails for my wedding day. She hand-painted them absolutely perfectly! I was so impressed, I teared up. They were beautiful, and I received so many compliments, not to mention they stayed on for a month! The vibe at Gold en Fileis is very chill and chic. It feels relaxed but fun. The white-and-gold elements throughout, the gold Buddhas, and the hanging chandeliers create a cohesive brand look and feel. It was clean and inviting. I would recommend Angel a million times over!

The check in was quick - I always struggle with color choices, but they brought me a color book instead. They offer complimentary beverages too which was a nice surprise. Definitely recommend!

Cons- the pedicure was just ok. Technician did not get my entire nail covered with color ( noticed when I got home). Also she exfoliated my foot with a literal cheese grater. She went way too deep and my foot scabbed over with scabs and took 3 weeks to heal. Was super uncomfortable and painful and bled!

This place is really expensive and it's just OK…read more My biggest issue is that the place is just too crowded. I was literally inches from the pedi chair next to me. When I lifted my side desk to put my water down, it was knocking into the desk of the person next to me. Walking from the chairs to the front I was constantly having to navigate around people having to ask them to scoot their chairs in just so I could walk by. I also put in my appointment that I wanted gel polish, and they put regular polish on my toes which had to be taken off and gel polish put on...which caused me to run behind for an event that I had that evening.

Maggie does my hands and I LOVE THEM. I have found my holy grail nail artist! They are so talented and precise and really care about what they are putting on your nails. Their attention to detail and precision is what sold me, but they are also very cool and a great collaborator. I cannot recommend this place enough!

After moving to New Orleans I have been trying to find someone who does Russian manicures…read more I have had several appointments with nail techs who seem to believe if they file around the bottom of your finger enough times they're doing it right. They are not. It got so bad that I took my question to Reddit, which is how I ended up booking at this place, which sadly was no different. When I sat down (twenty minutes late) I was informed by the nail tech that she does Russian manicures, but doesn't cut with a scissor. Immediate red flag but I had already paid in full and needed the disaster set I walked in with removed. This person then proceeded to not follow any of the steps of a Russian manicure. No orangewood stick. No flame bit to lift the dead skin. A jagged cut around the cuticle with oil added to hide it. Abrasions where my live skin was filed with the ball bit. I was then informed that I would need to pay an additional $60 for the hard gel application. To be fair, it was applied nicely and the shaping was great. It just wasn't a Russian manicure. If it had been billed as a hard gel manicure and left at that it would have been fine. The gaslighting at the end - I was told I should book hard gel fills moving forward because I don't "need" a Russian manicure - was the icing atop a very shitty cake. If you don't know what you're looking for, this is the place for you. The vibe and aesthetic of the salon is nice. If you're looking for an actual Russian manicure, keep looking.

Bummed to say this place is using cheese graters- which is and has been illegal in nail salons in…read moreLouisiana and basically every other state. Almost every pedicure cart has them included the cart used for my own pedicure. Before I could ever say something my text was going to town on my heels with a grater. It's 2025- the safety of the clientele here needs to be way higher than it is here. I would have rather left with rough heels than feeling like there's micro cuts. I wouldn't recommend the pedicures here which automatically cuts my review in half. Manicures seem fine but really vary on who you get. I can't say I'd be back, but if you skip the pedicure and get the right employee to do your manicure you would probably rate it as a 4 star shop.
